in class listening to a buncha preppy white kids AND the TA freak out about the ghettoness of cleveland. who has the better horrorstory. SO IGNORANT and IMMATURE!! (Yeah, my grandparents live in the ghetto! .. O MY GOD!! Yeah i heard gunshots in all 3 directions...)
gettin on my nerves. as i get older my opinions have become more accute. stupid little things ( like someone constantly clicking their pen) i dont notice but its the subtle things (like the aforementioned discourse that seemed to enthrall the entire classroom except myself and a couple of other people who know better.
( i used to live in east cleveland, it is my favorite geographical spot in the US besides iowa city ) there are many beautiful things about ghettos. complexities. but to these people (mentioned above), its just another "bad area". and "omigod you are still alive?!"
not the safest places in the world, u gotta be smart about it. but also very great place in the world, full of fresh and old wisdom alike. full of prophets and healers and lovers as well as drugdealers and prostitutes. but what is pleasure without agony?
